The young monk looked at the Daoist priest in front of him and said thoughtfully:
"Square Inch Mountain, Qi WuHuo..."
He looked at the Daoist priest up and down, then suddenly smiled and said, "It's you, it's you, Buddha Lord. I've been waiting for you for a long time!" He took half a step forward, pointed at the Daoist in front of him, and scolded, "True Martial Demon Queller, Supreme Xuanwei, are those who have their hands stained with the blood of the Buddhas?"
"Is it you who has killed countless people with your own strength?!"
"And--"
In front of the Buddha, Golden Cicada's eyes were clear and calm, and he said:
"Are you the one who single-handedly caused the blood debt of Lantuo Temple?"
The Daoist said, "What Lantuo Temple did was done by Shangqing Dongxuan Dao Fellow, not the poor Daoist."
Golden Cicada laughed loudly in front of the Buddha and said, "You said it was him, and everyone also said it was him, but why can't this [him] be [you]? Everyone else is wrong, but I am different." He stretched out two fingers, pointed at his eyes, and said:
"Buddha Lord I have a lot of tricks. I just look at the true face. You can hide it from others, but you can't deceive me."
"However, whether those gangsters are bald or not has nothing to do with me whether they die or not."
"Buddha Lord doesn't care."
He shrugged his shoulders casually and said, "They are full of blood and persistence, sitting on the lotus platform, but their hearts are full of mud. It's just Buddha Lord that I don't want to take action. Otherwise, I should take out the magic pestle and break open the heads of those monk one by one like a field mouse."
Qi WuHuo said, "You want to kill them?"
"No... you've already done it."
The Golden Cicada monk in front of him has a faint smell of blood on his body.
Golden Cicada replied with a smile, "I am the monster they call me. Is it wrong to kill them?"
"Besides, when things like this happen, Buddha Lord is saving them."
Qi WuHuo asked, "How to save me?"
Golden Cicada said, "There are only two ways to solve such a thing. One is to sit back and let them do whatever they want and kill people. But killing people will hinder their spiritual practice. If they are allowed to continue to act like this, they will inevitably fall into Hell of eternal suffering; and the second method is to inform the world about their behavior."
"Then all the people were furious, and they mobilized all the power of the world and heaven to surround and kill these monk who went astray."
"Because living people have the desire to kill and commit acts of killing, it hinders the purity of mind and hinders spiritual practice."
"True Martial Great Emperor What do you think of this?"
"Whether I sit back and ignore it or announce it to the world, there will be living beings who are angry, murderous, troubled, and fall into purgatory. How miserable is it?"
Qi WuHuo said, "What should I do?"
The handsome monk showed his white teeth and said with a smile, "Of course only the poor monk will kill them himself."
"In this way, those evil monks don't have to commit murder anymore; the poor monks don't have to tell other people to let them have murderous thoughts, so that when I fall into purgatory, I am the only one who does murderous intent, kills, and ends up in Hell of eternal suffering. The so-called all kinds of suffering are all in my body. True Martial Great Emperor How do you feel?"
The Daoist was speechless. "... it seems reasonable, but it is evil."
Golden Cicada laughed and said, "That's true."
"So these so-called 17-channel Buddhism are full of errors and omissions; Buddha Lord I can discuss Dharma and Buddha with them one by one. I can prove that their Buddhism is nihilistic, and I can prove that there is no Buddha in this world, and then tell them in the next moment that the so-called 17-channel Buddhism is just an illusion of the beggar who knelt before Bodhi Tree before he died."
"But these are all like dreams and bubbles, without any meaning."
Golden Cicada smiled and asked, "True Martial Great Emperor thinks, what is meaningful?"
Qi WuHuo stretched out his hand to touch the giant ink-colored snake next to him, and replied, "It seems that you think the Dharma in their mouths is false, but you did not say that [Buddha Dharma] itself is false. It seems that you think your own Dharma is real, and the rest are all false."
Golden Cicada smiled and replied calmly, "Yes."
"I came to this world not to teach the Dharma of the seventeen lines, but to teach the true Dharma, True Martial Great Emperor. The road ahead is broad and the Dharma is boundless. Can I give in? Using Tao and Dharma to drive away the Buddha is too overbearing."
This Buddha Golden Cicada finally revealed his true goal.
He did not really come here for the Seventeen Channels of Buddhism, but he also did not seriously abandon the Buddha.
Qi WuHuo said, "What is Buddhism?"
Golden Cicada couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, it seems that True Martial Great Emperor has also studied my Buddhist dharma. Is it that I came here today to test Buddha Lord my basic foundation? Hahaha, come on, come on, come on!"
"True Martial Great Emperor is going to block [me]?"
"Let's try it first!"
Golden Cicada Suddenly took a step forward, and the river reversed. The monk's robes rolled up, and his body was like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. The Daoist stepped lightly on the black snake under his feet. The black color seemed to be assisted by the mysterious. It roared silently, and the scales flowed, and the electricity shot out in the void. The speed was no less than that of the monk with extraordinary heels.
It is the way to walk.
What is at stake is the understanding of Tao and Buddhism.
Golden Cicada put his hands together, looked handsome, but his eyebrows were sparse, and said loudly:
"Hahaha, since True Martial Great Emperor is so interested, Buddha Lord I will tell you about this immeasurable Dharma so that you know why this Mortal World needs Dharma!"
"My Buddha's Dharma is for enlightenment, for the destruction of illusions, for ascetic cultivation, painstaking effort, and asceticism."
"For the sake of clarity..."
Traveling in a hurry, this monk's method is extremely high, especially talking nonsense, chattering endlessly, but speaking clearly, and telling all the mysteries of Buddhism. True Intention When walking through the mountain, he said, "All conditioned things are impermanent", that is, all things that are caused by the combination of causes and conditions, can be said, and everything that can be touched has no final conclusion, and there is no normal state.
Talk about the endless, wonderful lotus flower.
True Martial Demon Queller said, "The Dao that can be spoken, Is not the eternal Dao."
One says that impermanence is inconclusive, and the other says that what can be said is not the eternal road.
This means that none of the ways that people can talk about can be called the "Eternal Way". In fact, they all change, and this change is inconclusive. However, although there is no conclusion, all the ways of "Impermanence" are all included under the "Eternal Way" that is indescribable and indescribable, but must exist.
Just six words, including all the Buddhist teachings of monk.
The Dharma is impermanent, but the Great Way is eternal.
Golden Cicada's expression became more solemn, his speed remained unchanged, and there was water in the distance. Monk suddenly landed on the lake, and no ripples could fall on him. Buddha light was brilliant and magnificent, clear and quiet. He put his hands together and said, "[Everything with leakage is suffering]!"
"All sentient beings, all suffering and troubles, are poisons, can be drains, can be called obstacles."
"How to break it, how to solve it?"
Golden Cicada explained many methods of practice.
The Daoist replied, "Go to the extreme of emptiness and keep quiet."
The six words made Golden Cicada's expression stagnant. His expression gradually became solemn, and the Buddha light around him became more intense than before. It turned into a stream of light and swept across the road in front. He once again explained the mysteries of Buddhism in his mouth. However, the Daoist sat on the giant snake and still followed unhurriedly. He was just concise and concise, but there was a magnificent view, encompassing the magnificence of Buddhism within the six words.
Coming from the mountains, leaving from the water, in an instant, I walked through the wilderness, the mountains, the deserts, the snow-capped mountains, talking about Four Noble Truths, talking about Eight Sufferings, talking about the cessation of all suffering, talking about the five aggregates and the various phases. Golden Cicada's expression and attitude changed from being arrogant and natural and free and easy at the beginning, to gradually being dignified, and gradually becoming tense.
He spoke faster and faster, and his words became sharper, but his expression was no longer relaxed.
In the end, many of his Buddhist teachings were destroyed by this Daoist.
No matter how many wonderful methods Golden Cicada said and how many examples he gave, the Daoist only spoke lightly and concisely, and only said six words each time. It seemed that he would lose if he said one more word. However, these six words each time, each time, each time, seemed to form a majestic and majestic atmosphere.
Every time the answer was given in a calm tone.
Each answer seems to be heavier and more powerful than the last time.
Golden Cicada, who listened to the Dharma in front of the Buddha, felt endless ripples in his heart.
This is the Supreme Disciple?!
Dao Ancestor's disciples, are they really so terrifying?! How many years have I been in front of the Buddha, yet I can't even compare to this supreme disciple?!
Legend has it that Supreme disciple has a high level of understanding, but is not as solid as Yuqing's disciples.
It is not as good as the free and uninhibited disciples of Shangqing.
Just Supreme disciple, it doesn't make sense. What if we meet the other Yuqing disciples again? What if we meet the Shangqing disciples again?!
Golden Cicada, who had already defeated all the Buddhas in the Western Heaven's Seventeen Lineages, remained silent for a long time.
In the end, he exhausted the Dharma, but he never let the Daoist say anything more.
If this is the road to practice the Tao, then we are already at a dead end on this road and have nowhere to go. So we stopped, clasped our hands together, turned around and asked, "You are criticizing my Dharma, so I ask you, poor monk, what is the Tao?!!!"
This loud shout, Buddha light circulated, the sound echoed left and right, it seemed that it could make the world shake.
It caused the river to stop flowing, the mountains to reverberate, and the vegetation to sway like waves.
Supreme Xuanwei thought for a while, then pointed at the sky, the earth, and Golden Cicada in front of him. Monk, who has been arrogant and arrogant since he was born, seemed to understand the meaning of the Daoist in front of him, and felt the great courage in this description, and said, "You mean... everything is Tao?"
So, Buddha is the Tao?
Supreme One lineage, so transparent, yet so arrogant!
Golden Cicada originally thought that his background, his understanding, and his talent were enough to support his arrogance. Among all the Buddhas, he was the most proud. He had been out of the mountain for several years and had been in the human world for two years.
But he soon knew it.
What is the arrogance of Supreme One lineage.
Then he saw the Daoist retract his finger and said, "No."
"All things are naturally just all things, and of course they are not Tao."
"Tao, for Mother of all things."
It is the source of all things and all kinds of things.
But not everything itself.
Tao is also the source of Buddhism.
Golden Cicada's expression solidified.
Although Qi WuHuo had a glimpse of the future fate between monk in front of him and himself, he never said anything bad to him because of it. He only explained it gently and described, "Tao, if it describes the state of [Tao], then Tao should be the beginning of heaven and earth. If we must give him a name, it is Mother of all things."
Golden Cicada was silent, standing here with a slight sigh and a complicated look on his face.
Instead, the Daoist asked casually, "So, Golden Cicada, what are you cultivates Buddhist Dharma for?"
Golden Cicada said, "Practicing Buddhism means practicing Buddhism. It can not only cultivate oneself, but also spread Save All Living Beings."
The Daoist pondered for a moment, then went through all the things he saw, which Golden Cicada also knew, including Lantuo Temple, and the method of the seventeen Buddhist sects a few years ago, which supported the dragon veins and made the world full of temples, and then said:
"So, it is said that it is universal Save All Living Beings, but whether it is the existence of those Western Heaven Buddha Kingdom, or you who are coming down the mountain to enter the human world Mortal World, is it for the common people, or do you hope that the common people will enter Buddhism, strengthen Buddha Lineages, and make Buddhism flourish?"
"Pu Save All Living Beings, is this your purpose, or is it just a high-sounding means?"
Golden Cicada was speechless, and his face turned pale for a moment.
"Poor monk..."
The True Martial Demon Queller Great Emperor in front of him laughed to himself and said, "Why don't you call yourself Buddha Lord?"
"I prefer the way you were unruly and independent just now."
Golden Cicada sighed speechlessly.
Qi WuHuo simply sat down cross-legged, and he asked, "Today, Buddhism uses Theravada Buddhism as a way to cultivate oneself. The so-called universal Save All Living Beings actually hopes to help the common people to universalize oneself. It is not the Hinayana. It can only save [me] and [practice with me], but it is just [Middle Vehicle]."
Golden Cicada felt that this Daoist was fooling him, but subconsciously bowed and said, "Dare to ask Mahayana."
The Daoist smiled and said, "How do I know?"
Golden Cicada: "..."
For a moment, I felt angry in my heart, and I wanted to shout Buddha Lord again, but the Daoist in front of me said:
"I don't know the Buddha, so I'm just saying this. If you listen to me, who can become a Buddha if you practice your Dharma?"
Golden Cicada said, "Those who practice Theravada Buddhism can only become Arhats at most, but cannot become Buddhas."
"Mahayana Buddhism is not."
Qi WuHuo said, "Practice Mahayana Buddhism and say Universal Salvation of All Beings. In fact, they are spreading the Dharma to the outside world and cultivating the Buddha's kingdom internally. Those who become Buddhas are those who pass on the Dharma lineage, aren't they? Those who want the common people to support them and plunder the luck of the world in order to cultivate themselves."
Golden Cicada nodded silently.
The Daoist said, "What if it's the other way around?"
The other way around?!!
Golden Cicada seemed to understand something. He slowly raised his head and saw the Daoist in front of him with a smile and said, "I only teach the Dharma without being supported by it. I just teach Buddhism without teaching the so-called rules of conversion. I abandon the so-called dignity of the sect and just leave behind those things that Bodhi Tree, monk, told you back then."
"Get rid of the bad and keep the good."
"The Buddha taught you the Dharma, and you just teach the Dharma."
"And the disciples who are taught by you will also teach the pure Dharma and principles."
"In this way, everyone can become a Buddha."
Boom!!!!
As if his mind was shaken, Golden Cicada's pupils shrank, as if he had glimpsed a different direction from the Buddhism of this era. He subconsciously blurted out. "If you don't take refuge in the Buddha or worship the Buddha, how can you practice Buddhism?! How can you practice Buddhism if you stay away from the Buddha?!"
"You are doing evil!!"
The Daoist asked, "Where is the Dharma?"
"Inside the temple, or on the form made of clay?"
Golden Cicada said, "In my heart, I can't forget it for a moment!"
His voice paused.
It seems that the answer has been found.
The Daoist in front of him stretched out his finger, pointed at Golden Cicada's heart, and said, "The Buddha Dharma is the Buddha. The Buddha Dharma is in your heart. Isn't the Buddha also here? Wherever you are, the Buddha is there. Therefore, Buddha can be seen everywhere in the six realms."
"And where the heart is, it's only within a square inch."
"Within a square inch."
"This is the Buddha's land!"
Within a small area, there is the Buddhist Kingdom...
Golden Cicada was stunned and lost consciousness. He only felt the roar in his heart and his body trembled. He saw the Daoist cross-legged here, immeasurably high and infinitely wide. Suddenly he realized something and recalled what the Daoist had said before.
"Square Inch Mountain..."
A square inch is the Buddha's country.
It's Square Inch Mountain, please see me. It's Golden Cicada.
It's Golden Cicada Seeing the Buddha.
